1) Go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services and stop the CrypKey License service.
2) Go to Start > Run and enter CMD to run the command line window. Enter sc delete “CrypKey License”.
3) Go to the C:\Program Files\BioStar\Server\Support\CrypKey License Service\SetupEx.exe folder and run SetupEx.exe as an administrator privilege.
4) Restart your PC.
